Days 14 and 15 of Asylum

Day 14 was relief.  Stretching those tight muscles to loosen them up.  Preparing them from more of the assault that is to come.

Day 15 - Speed and Agility.  I am moving a lot faster through the ladder.  I am also doing more plank work for longer periods.   I still hate bear crawls though.  They are my arch nemesis.  That is all the more reason to do them though.  To make my self good at them!! 

Days 10 to 13 of Insanity the Asylum

Day 10 - Relief - Lots of stretching, just what the body needed.

Day 11 - Game day - Great workout I pushed hard.  My guts weren't too happy, it being Thanksgiving and all, but I pushed through the best i could.

Day 12 - Back to core - Able to do more and more reps.  Each week I push harder and the results are showing.

Day 13- Strength - Pushed hard- sweaty mess.  I love it.  I am getting better with all the workouts everytime i do them.  i am able to push a little further each time.  Talk about awesomeness!

Day 9 Vertical Plyo

Vertical Plyo is complete!  I tired.  Took my Results and Recovery and now waiting for my lunch to cook.  I did more reps over all, my distance hasn't increased with my jumps but that will come I am sure.  I never was much of a jumper.

Gotta get ready for work so this will be a shorter blog.  Take care!

Day 8 - Asylum Back to core

Back to core again today.  More reps completed and other poses held for longer.  This is a great workout.  I still got to work on the flexibility in my shoulders and triceps.  Those reverse planks are a beast.  I am still amazed at how much I have advanced in just a week.  This is definitely a program that will give results!!!

Between this program, Shakeology, and the Results and Recovery Formula I feel like a beast! 

Days 5-7 of Insanity the asylum

I missed the last two days.  So I am combining Days 5-7 here.

Day 5 - REST DAY!  Much deserved and much earned.  The first 4 days of Asylum were rough.  I got through them.  I am seeing results already and feeling much stronger.  I also feel really sore.  It was a great workout.  I loved it!

Day 6 - Speed and Agility - Still just as tough but got more reps in.  Quite a few more.  Surprising for 1 week of a workout.  I expected a few more reps but it really increased.

Day 7 (Today) - Strength - Weights increased with some sets and reps increased for others.  It all depended on if there was a set number of reps to do (weight) or max reps.  I feel so alive, even though I am beat so bad that I will feel all the pain tomorrow.  Pain is just weakness leaving your body. 

DAY 4 Insanity: The Asylum Vertical Plyo

Vertical plyo, I was already sore from the rest of the week so I guess Shaun T said, "Hey.  If you think you are sore now, try this."  It hurts to walk.  Stairs make my legs feel like jello.  I hurt.  There is no other way to describe it.  I hurt. 

It is a good hurt though.  When you feel sore, it means you have worked your body and made it use muscles that aren't used to being used that way.  It makes you stronger.  Don't fear being sore.  If you aren't sore, you didn't work hard enough.

Day 3 of Asylum- Back to core.

Today marked day 3 of Insanity: The Asylum Back to Core.  It lives up to its name.  It really works the back and the core area.  All with body weight and a band.  Insane.  Asylum is living up to all of its promises.  I can see results happening after just 3 days! 

I am starving now also.  My Metabolism is boosted through the roof.  I had Chocolate Shakeology with peanut butter and banana for breakfast.  A P90X Results and recovery shake post workout.  Then for lunch I had 2 chicken thighs, a cup of baby potatoes, and a cup of green beans.  I even threw in a small hand full of pretzels.  It doesn't feel like I ate at all. I will have a protein bar in a moment to hold me until dinner.  This is some crazy stuff!  I am loving it though!

Day 2 of the Asylum _ Strength

Today was day 2 of Insanity: The Asylum - Strength.  It was a real challenge.  My body is totally thrashed.  It is a whole new level.  I was only using 15 pound dumb bells.  They were plenty!  Then on the pyramid pullups/push ups I had to break out the pull up assist band after the third set.  For rock climbers I had to use a chair to hold help me up.  I didn't use them predominantly.  I used more arm and back than leg.  Check back tomorrow to see where my progress is!

DAY ONE OF ASYLUM

Today was Speed and Agility.  I am a graduate of P90X, P90X plus, and Insanity.  I think that those were just a warm up.  I was so thrashed for the ENTIRE day.  Needless to say I am not going to quit.  I am going to keep pushing, and I am going to overcome the obstacles in my path.  Don't let walls stop you, bust through them. 

Commited to the Asylum

I committed myself.  You heard that right.  I went to the Asylum.  Insanity: The Asylum.  Shaun T's newest workout.  I completed the Performance test today (Day Zero).  My results were as follows.
